As a new professor at Carleton of just over a year, Kate Dupr\u00e9 has had to adapt to a whole different university and way of life\u2014especially now that she\u2019s no longer living on an island.<\/p>\n

\u201cI taught at Memorial University in Newfoundland for 10 years,\u201d she says. \u201cThe oil and gas industry really changed and it was amazing to see the growth and people being more excited about jobs and the economy. It was a fun time to be there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, Dupr\u00e9 is a professor of psychology at Carleton, specializing in occupational health and safety in the workplace. While she says her classes at Memorial were similar, even though she taught in the business department, there are still some learning curves after a decade.<\/p>\n

\u201cThings like trying to get students involved and learning new strategies to do that in a bigger class. Even after 10 years, that was new to me,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Class sizes aren\u2019t the only changes to which Dupr\u00e9 has had to adapt. She says Carleton\u2019s first-year seminar courses are drastically different than the courses she\u2019s previously taught.<\/p>\n

Her upper-year courses at Memorial, such as human resource management and organizational behaviour, were more content-focused, while first-year seminars emphasize discussion and opinion. Dupr\u00e9 notes the students themselves are also different.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, I love teaching at different levels because if you don\u2019t, you forget the evolution of the academic experience,\u201d she says. \u201cTeaching first year is fun to see people who are very excited to be at university and starting out and learning new things. But at the same time it\u2019s challenging because they\u2019re not quite prepared for the work involved.\u201d<\/p>\n

To help with the gap between high school and first year, Dupr\u00e9 makes sure to give her students examples, like case studies and videos, that break down the theoretical aspects of the material.<\/p>\n

Another way she keeps her students interested and engaged comes from her research.<\/p>\n

Dupr\u00e9 was awarded a grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council in 2012 with the aim of examining what happens when people are injured at work and the effect it has on their families. Along with some of her students, she researches workplace injury implications with the hope it could one day impact policies and create healthier environments for employees and those around them.<\/p>\n

As someone who studies workplaces so in depth, it\u2019s high praise that Dupr\u00e9 calls Carleton an \u201cexceptional workplace.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is just a really nice place to work. For me, doing research on work and life, I truly appreciate being able to do what I love in a place that is really great to work in.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
